1t has been the doctrine Of all
ages, and in all countries since the
early dawn of Christian civilization
that our first duty was to our Maker,
and our next duty to our country.
1t is not our purpose to say anything
of the former, at this time; but we
feel it is incumbent upon US, to some
extent, to say something of the lat
ter. We are all aware that the
nominating convention for governor
convenes next fall, and that the cp-
moments to General Nichols will not
be idle spectators in the present
campaign. They have become too
much cnamored of political elevation
TO relinouish, without a struggle, the
grasp which they have so long main
tanned. They have lived too long
in extravagant luxury, at the es-
pense of the people, to give up
without orce more rallying their
forces, and marching on the fortified
tons of the Reformers. Their plans
are being devised, their commander.
in.chief has already met in %consulta-
ton with his %lieutcnants, to contrlve
and consider the best method for
our defeat. Is it not reasonable,
then, that we, the reform Democracy
of the State, should stand firm and
unhinchingly to each other and sup
port the Ean we believe to have
been the truest to the party aud
nearest the hearts Of the people
We want no standing candidate; no
chronic ofice;seeker; no nan vino is
actuated by a desire for self aggran.
dizement; no mar who has not the
honor aud interest of the country
deep in his heart; no man who would
tarnish, by an ignoble act, the fair
escutcheon Of our grand and noble
State. We want a mar OF high
purpose, who has the threads O
integrity woven in the fabric Of hi:
Tile, and who would not vacillate
with the popular voice Of public
opinion without it was co2slsten'
with law, justice, honor and 'nteg
rity. "A man of this kind is Genera
-. F. r.. Nichols, and as We believe ht
is the choice of a large majority 0
the people Of the State for our mex
governor, we hope that all the en-
l ergy Of the reform Democracy viii
; be used in his behalf to secure hi
nomination. To do this, however
7 we must he watchful and earnest j,
our efforts, remembering always tina
no great success was ever accom-
: plished without eternal yigilanc

that VIC had a most excellent time

most delightful episodes was the
